Rare fish sighted

just thought i'd share my findings yesterday. went to the usual spots in SF yesterday (Lucky O, Aquatic Central, 6th ave - ooops saw all the regular crazy stuff at 6th including a nice chalice for $40!!! saw 2 small hawaiian dragon moray's, a pair of mento triggers (crosshatch), some very nice wrasses, and lots of asfur and mac angels being blown out at $89, along with purple tangs for $85 (seems more like average than sale price for the tangs though) at AC.

No way lool, they have bad customer service and give bad advice and dont give a crap about your fish. They are terrible. But I always see a long line of people lining up to get in. Its like when the Iphone just came out.

I would say yes, aqua traders sell odyssea stuff so does 6th ave. Well that doesnt mean anything but I am guessing its them aswell...
